<p>Being part of such a big franchise, it should come as no surprise that merchandise based on <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/mass-effect-andromeda/">Mass Effect: Andromeda</a> is on the way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That includes an action figure based on one of the two protagonists you can choose from in Andromeda, Scott Ryder, <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/11/09/mcfarlane-tackles-mass-effect-andromeda-with-new-ryder-figure.aspx">Game Informer</a> reports. The McFarlane-produced figure, which is part of the Color Tops line, stands seven inches tall. Ryder wears N7 armor and carries an Avenger AAX5 assault rifle. You can check out a photo of a prototype version below.</p>

<p dir="ltr">It doesn&#8217;t yet have an exact release date&#8211;it&#8217;s due out sometime next spring&#8211;but you&#8217;ll be able to preorder it on Amazon in the coming days. A price wasn&#8217;t shared, but Game Informer notes that similar figures go for around $20.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Presumably a version of Andromeda&#8217;s female protagonist, Sarah Ryder, is also on the way, but McFarlane hasn&#8217;t announced that yet. An <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mass-effect-andromeda-release-date-possibly-reveal/1100-6444334/">art book based on the game is coming in March</a>, which is one of two <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/another-clue-points-to-mass-effect-andromedas-rele/1100-6445252/">indications Andromeda itself may launch on March 21</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">EA and BioWare most recently said to expect the game during Sprint 2016. We&#8217;ve learned a lot about it this week, including the fact that it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mass-effect-andromeda-is-not-the-start-of-a-new-tr/1100-6445250/">not the start of a new trilogy</a> and <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mass-effect-andromeda-has-crafting-updated-new-gam/1100-6445237/">has a crafting system</a>.</p>
